When Did Bigfoot Monster Truck Start?

Bigfoot, the original monster truck, began in 1975 when owner Bob Chandler wanted to build a vehicle that could drive over cars for fun. The idea came from a mud bogging truck that Chandler had built several years earlier, and he decided to take it one step further by making it bigger and more powerful. He lengthened the frame of the truck and added huge tires that were 66 inches in diameter. With its massive size and power, Bigfoot was able to easily crush cars and make its way over other obstacles.

The monster truck debuted at a car show in St. Louis, Missouri in April of 1975 and became an instant hit with fans. People were amazed by this giant machine that seemed indestructible and could go anywhere it wanted. After the success at the car show, Chandler began touring with Bigfoot which helped to spread its popularity even further.

Bigfoot has gone on to become one of the most iconic monster trucks of all time. It has appeared in movies, television shows, video games, and even has its own toy line. The truck is still active today with Chandler still behind the wheel for many events.
